We had unexpected storms last night, and it was still raining when we woke up this morning. The conditions have improved ever since, and there is a small chance that we will make some local test flights before the day is over. Al and Ryszard will probably take tows just to get familiar with their gliders.
It's a bit curious that the Organisers are still not available for processing registrations or scrutineering. There have been no published announcements, and there is no official notice board. Tomorrow is the first official practice day, and we will presumably get a Task. With only 35 gliders expected, it should be relatively easy to get us all processed before the competition begins, but it would be nice, for all concerned, if we could practice in a simulated contest environment.
We were told that part of the registration process would be the issuance of Argentine pilot certificates, which are required before you're allowed to fly in this country. So far the line crew hasn't been checking for these.
